Lutheran Ambassador July 2020

BY HEIDI NELSON THIS UNIQUE SEASON has affected us all in different ways. For some people, the COVID-19 quarantine has been a welcomed change, including a special time of family bonding or personal growth. For others this season has brought hardship through unemployment, canceled special events, sickness, relationship struggles, emotional brokenness, loneliness, financial difficulties, or loss of loved ones. Around the world, other challenges have also been added to the mix, from flooding, tsunamis, locus swarms, increased persecution, official paperwork delays, riots, and starvation.

Yet God is still on the Throne. He sees each heart and cares about the tiny details and huge problems, too. How are we allowing God to shape us through this season? How are we reaching out? How are those we know and love being affected around the world?

Here is a glimpse of how our AFLC missionaries and missionaries on loan to other agencies are seeing God at work through the blessings and challenges of this season.

If you would like to receive more updates from any of these missionaries, please visit the missionary page at AFLCworldmissions.org and subscribe to the newsletters. Thank you for praying!
